Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Bits of this shambling mess gave us a big buzz way back when Wendy Arthole flamboyantly (but minimally) gratified curiosity about the then new decadence, while soupcan aesthetic theory glorified its many hours of brain-crushing tat. It's alive while nutty naturals like Menken and Ondine perform. The other 85 per cent is wallpaper, the concept pompous, and zomboidal. View'n doze.Author: RD
